All of which is fair enough.
I guess it depends on your definition of work. In
general a text editor lets me do the work I'm
interested in.
Most of the rest (eg. video editing), for me,
requires a lot more grunt. This is not a criticism
of Android as it's not aimed at these areas of work.

Well I noticed that it has gftp, some text-editors, maybe geany, a command line.
It can run python and compile java. Subversion it can also run I think.
So I'd say its got the potential not to be a toy.

Is anyone on the list using Android for a
significant amount of work?
I've been considering the Asus Transformer for the
ability to have a proper keyboard and touch pad
and then use it as a tablet when that's all I want.
However, I see it as a bigger version of my phone
- with a bigger keyboard.
Connecting to another device or text-based work
(writing, blogging etc) - sure. Past that, I'm not
clear either what level of 'work' one is able to
achieve.
You could connect to your home machine and then
get it to do the hard work???
Correct me if I'm wrong :)) but unless you're
using some cloud-based server to do the hard work
(eg. using Piknic for your photo editing) I would
imagine Android wouldn't be as useful or capable
as having a proper 'nix install.
Given I only have Android on my phone, I really
can't say I've enough experience on which to base
a globally useful reply :))
